About this listen

Caithleen and Baba, first encountered in The Country Girls, are now living in Dublin, where they discuss men, drink gin, and try to look fast. Cait, in the pursuit of true love, becomes involved with the fanatically domineering Eugene Gaillard. Painful disillusion and occasional moments of bliss in her life make this a bittersweet tale, and it is told with all the perception and wit that is the hallmark of Edna O’Brien.

Having listened to The Country Girls I had to continue the series with this one, and again went with the version read by the author. She has a very flat, droll way of speaking which I quite like. After the first part of the trilogy, I felt a real sadness for the characters, and even more so in this one as they are young women trying to find their way in the world. I’m in equal parts looking forward to and dreading to find out how it ends.
